Broken/Open (Salt Modern Poets S.) [Paperback]

Jill Jones (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2005 | Series: Salt Modern Poets S.

These poems are traces and markings through continuous topographies - streets, shores, bodies. They use the soundtracks of modern lives to negotiate difficult harbours and debatable terrains with richness and tenderness in these times which seem broken and open. Many of them are shards, borrowings and reshapings of forms, overheard dialogue and writings and art by others, signs and relics of the concrete world, tensions in a moment.
